Dr. David Amron Expands Los Angeles Practice to Focus on Lipedema Treatment

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Elite dermatologic surgeon and lipedema correction specialist, Dr. David Amron, expands his practice in Beverly Hills, Calif. to concentrate on treating more lipedema patients due to overwhelming response from media and his successfully-treated patients. Impacting more than 17 million women nationwide, lipedema is a fat storage condition that can lead to immobility, and it can only be treated with tumescent lymphatic sparing liposuction – a procedure most surgeons refuse to perform.  

Dr. Amron is one of few across the nation with proven success treating lipedema, which is often misdiagnosed as obesity or unusual weight gain.

"Lipedema is a complicated fat disorder that's all too often mistreated, quite simply due to the fact that many physicians are greatly unfamiliar with it," said Dr. Amron. "With the new focus and expansion of my practice, I hope to not only provide treatment for more hopeless patients, but also garner much needed awareness on the condition."

No amount of diet and exercise can prevent or cure lipedema, and with time the condition progressively worsens and often leads to debilitation.

"[Lipedema] made me feel miserable, and diet and exercise didn't help…. the procedure was the best thing I've done in my entire life, really," said Jasna Tursic, who recently completed liposuction with Dr. Amron to treat her lipedema.

Dr. Amron's uniquely developed approach and specialized liposuction techniques have led to life-changing results for his lipedema patients.

"I saw probably 20 plastic surgeons before Dr. Amron, and nobody would perform any surgery. Dr. Amron really was my last hope, and he gave me my life back," Tursic said. "I feel amazing. It changed my life in so many different ways."
